prob your only option is to reflash the sbf as per my guide, no us sbf unfortunately though

Did you backup your system before you installed frozen eclair?

is it possible to copy all of the files in the phone from the new Defy i receive from t-mobile to the old one? Could that fix it? Please answer.

Help or explain plssssss.

Hello Everyone,
I have HTC SPRINT TOUCH PRO 2 PHONE.
I was updating the RADIO version on my phone and after it installed the device went to REBOOT and it never opened again and it doesn't goto the boot loader. The only reaction that the phone does is when i put it to charge the red light turn on.
I have tried hard/soft Reset, and nothing have worked.
PLEASE, DOES ANYONE CAN EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED ?? OR What can I do ??
Thank you for your answer in advance.
could be a battery issue, seems like its not holding a charge. Go to a store and try a new battery?
Sorry, but it sounds like you bricked your device. I'm guessing you flashed a radio not made for your device, like a GSM radio. If you can't access the bootloader, then I'd say you probably need to get your device replaced under warranty (by going to the store you bought it from and playing dumb about why it won't work so they'll replace it) or send it to HTC and pay to get it replaced.
try to reflash back to the stock rom...download and use the sprint exe on this page to do so...http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=91940
ive had this happen and this was the only way to get it working again
Thank you everyone for trying to help, I will try to reflash the stock ROM and hopefully it works otherwise I will send it to HTC since i dont have warranty.

Help please!

Is it staying on the CM logo? Take out the battery then go into recovery by pressing power while holding down on the volume.
Then when in recovery just wipe/factory reset. If that doesn't work just wipe and flash the rom over again.
Idk if it matters but isn't Nexus One WVGA? Our phone is HVGA, the graphics in that thread wouldn't fit on our phone. I'm assuming. could be wrong.
Nexus 1 ≠ Mytouch Slide
There's your answer (and should have been before he ever flashed it). Make sure you read before doing things to your phone. Fully understand and comprehend it before you do it (ask questions) - or you'll end up with an expensive piece of plastic. Don't let some friend flash things to your phone unless they have your phone and demonstrate a good understanding of what to do along with adb and linux. Lastly make sure they know how to fix it if they mess it up.
i dont think he would end up bricking the thing, after all he managed to root it but... yeah your friend flashed something meant for a completely different device with a different screen resolution and framework... so just go into recovery wipe and flash a rom for the slide, you should be good to go

[Q] one click lag fix.. screen black, help!

Hi guys, I rooted my phone using z4root. I used titanium back up and set set to factory thing. and then i used one click lag fix the newest version and did one click lag fix v1+ and as soon as i did that my phone rebooted. but ive waited for more than 5 minutes and my screen is still black. and four bottom keys are lit. and galaxy s logo and sprint logo did show up but its still black....
so i read some things on forums and it said just take out battery and re insert it
and turn on. i did that and is still black.
omg. did i just brick my phone? i dont know what to do.
help!
The lag fix IS NOT for the Epic, I repeat IS NOT for the Epic. Odin your phone back to stock and start again.
how do i odin back?
You need to learn to search in the future, but here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209&highlight=ODIn
my epic 4g is 2.1 eclair does this matter?
No
Also don't make useless polls
sorry i was new and didnt know what that was
and thanks for your help
No problem, just remember to search before you flash/install anything that doesn't say it's for the Epic because I'm sure you don't want to have to go through this again.
sorry but whats the difference between ODEX version and DEOdexed version?
That would've been a perfect question to search to find the answer on, but the only difference is that DEODEX is if you want to install themes
i didnt do the odin thing but i did recovery thing and my phone became alive again. i did factory reset thing.. thank you. thank you!

[Q] CM7 upgrade help

Hi all.
I'm really sorry if this has been covered before - I've searched but found nothing specific, and I'm at work just to make it trickier.
I was on T-Mobile UK stock ROM until lunchtime today, at which point I followed the instructions from this thread to upgrade to CM7 RC0. Following the upgrade, I used Titanium backup to restore my apps and data. Everything looks okay, but I keep getting random force closes for android.process.media. Can somebody please help me with this - it seems to come up when I try to change any sound option, but also in the market when loading my apps.
Factory reset
something u restored from ur stock apps backup is messing with ur current settings .i recommend u to factory reset and then install apps carefully (only user apps) dont go and even try those system apps ...
I'm no advance user yet.. but hey we both got cm7 at same day day and same time ..
i'm just learning ..if u still need help i'll be glad to help
I might have made it very much worse
after reading a bit more, I opted for clearing my cache in recovery mode... that made it worse, leaving me stuck at the M logo. Other posts pointed me in the direction of reflashing the SBF file and starting again, but this left me with a looping MotoBlur animation after flashing the sbf. recovery mode is now not getting past the ! triangle.
My phone appears to be a brick, and I know I've just done something stupid. Is there anyone who can offer any advice? Please?

Flash sbf a clean stock sbf and if the phone works then reply here ..'ll guide u further

OK when you see the ! triangle to get into the recovery menu you need to press the volume up button & volume down button at the same time (this is for froyo 2.2 - if still on eclair 2.1 then just touch the bottom right hand of the screen) then you will access the recovery menu.
From there you can do a factory reset & then hopefully it should boot up OK.
Just beware that your battery may be getting low on charge & this makes it a bit trickier but not impossible.
Thanks. I figured out the volume buttons to access the recovery menu, managed to re flash the sbf file, then left it to reload cm7 in the morning. Thanks for all your help, panic mode is neither my favourite, nor my best.

I had the *exact* same issue over the weekend. Was able to fix it by following the installation instructions again. Glad you got your phone working again too, I know I'll be very careful with TB in the future.
But... Does anyone know why a (simple?) cache wipe gets you stuck at the M logo (2ndInit still works, but nothing after that)

[HELP] Bricked, almost dead Defy+

i bought this Defy+ just a couple of days ago and i was trying to get CM7. I struggled to root it but i achieved it. I wiped and did all the procedure before installing it, but i didn't had enough space on my SD, so i rebooted and booted like a brand new defy, going through the Blur config and everything... So i went to Recovery again, but at this time i forgot to do the wiping - which, i guess, led to a brick.
So i managed to get a .sbf to flash it.. What i didn't realized is that the .sbf was a custom, so i guess this ****ed up my phone even more. And so i went on trying to rescue my phone but this time i couldn't complete the flashing process, i wasn't able to perform a downgrade - i guess. After this, i got a non-rootable .sbf and began the flashing. The process got stuck on some message at 0%, then i disconnected the phone.
When i was able to download a stock firmware, from the .sbf thread, the phone wouldn't reboot when RSD asked, it didn't turn on again. So i tried to re-flash it, same .sbf and now i'm stuck with this situation: the pc is not recognizing my phone, i have a black screen - not even the Bootloader error screen is appearing and i'm here, begging, for someone to help me. is it dead? can i get it back?
HELP, PLZ
Is there any juice in the battery left? Does the phone even turn on or did you just drain all of your battery? If so, you have a couple of options - do McGyver or find somebody with the same phone and ask him to charge your battery and then start over. I would strongly recommend you take the second option.

it doesn't turn on, but i guess it does have battery, i can see the led on when i connect it to the pc
Led is always on when connected to the PC - it means nothing. If it doesn't turn on, then your battery's dead. Find someone who has the same phone and can charge it for you.
I think there is no problem, but you flash older firmware, which is probably due to the 7 bootloader does not go up.

"As of today there is no a full SBF** for the Defy+ (found here).
This full SBF is a new CG Version**, with Android 2.3.6. You wont be able to go back to your Stock Defy+ Rom, but at least you wont kill it if something goes wrong."
i successfully flashed it but still it won't turn on, i'm almost giving up on this one

If it gets past the red m and just keeps playing the android animation then simply pull battery hold volume - put battery in and keep volume - held when you get the android and the triangle press volume + and - and wipe all, should boot, unfortunately you've just flashed the un root able sbf and are stuck on moto standard
teamwork makes the dream work
nevermind, i flashed other sbf version and it is now working; too bad this version isn't rootable
anyway, many many thanks for all the help
